In 2014 we tackled the Top 10 Fight Scenes of All Time, and you know what? A lot’s changed! There have been some great new fight scenes that deserve recognition, but more than that, the way we look at movies has changed a lot too. So we thought the greatest fight scenes of all time deserves another look. Do we still like the picks we made back then? Or the categories we broke them down into? Here is our first CineFix Re-Listing, the Top 10 Fight Scenes of All Time!

We first look at the sweet science, the organized fights of Boxing movies like Rocky or MMA films like Tom Hardy in Warrior, before moving on to the knives, swords and sabres of Hero, Kill Bill and The Princess Bride, two on one fights like the ones in Kiss of the Dragon or Keanu Reeves in the Man of Tai Chi, one vs. many brawls like those you find in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, or Tony Jaa in The Protector. Tonally we go all the way from the grittier, realistic end of the fight spectrum like Atomic Blonde, the Bourne movies or the most wonderfully crotch kneeing alleyway fight of all time in They Live, to the opposite, more fun end with the comedic fight scenes in Scott Pilgrim, Pirates of the Caribbean and Kung Fu Hustle.

The Picks:

10 - Boxing / MMA / Kickboxing - Creed (2015) dir. Ryan Coogler
9 - Martial Arts - Wheels on Meals (1984) dir. Sammo Hung
8 - Knives - Kill Zone (2005) dir. Wilson Yip
7 - Swords - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) dir. Ang Lee
6 - One vs. Two - The Raid: Redemption (2011) dir. Gareth Evans
5 - One vs. Many - Fist of Fury (1972) dir. Lo Wei / Fist of Legend (1994) dir. Gordon Chan
4 - Wuxia / Wire Fu - Hero (2002) dir. Yi-Mou Zhang
3 - Gritty Realism - Saving Private Ryan (1998) dir. Steven Spielberg
2 - Fun Fight - The Legend of the Drunken Master (1994) dir. Jackie Chan, Lau Kar-leung
1 - Just the Best - Enter the Dragon (1973) dir. Robert Clouse
